Question

Which of the following type of soil/(s) tend/(s) to be light, well aerated and dry?

A.

Sandy soil

B.

Clayey soil

C.

Loamy soil

D.

Both clayey and Loamy soil

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) Sandy soil.
Explanation:

● Sandy soil consists of large particles that have huge spaces between them, making it light and well-aerated.
● Because the spaces are large, water drains quickly, which leaves the soil dry.
Information Booster:
● Clayey soil has very fine particles with small spaces, making it heavy and able to hold a lot of water but with little air.
● Loamy soil is a mixture of sand, clay, and silt; it is considered the best for growing plants because it has the right water-holding capacity and aeration.
Additional Knowledge:
● Silt – Soil particles whose size is between that of sand and clay.
● Humus – Decomposed organic matter that increases soil fertility.
